Leadership:
My position at Spectrum is the Chief Design Officer. I feel that my team is very organized and meets deadlines with proficiency. Currently, my team is ahead of schedule. Our department is very on task and follows the company and department commitments very attentively. We have received recognition from top management for our teams efficiency and productivity, however; we do not use this as an excuse to slack off. The Design and IT department continues to thrive in our company environment.
My leadership ability has stemmed from my prior experience. In previous years, I have been part of the Student Athletic Leadership Team here at Neuqua Valley as well as attending a leadership conference. I am currently perusing opportunities in leadership through my participation in PE Leaders and Senior Advisory. I constantly do my best to be a confident but not overbearing leader. I look for ways to help individuals thrive in all environments of our community. My most recent challenge has been leading the Design and IT department at Spectrum. At first, I was a bit nervous, but after a week, I began to be comfortable with directing my team and communicating with upper management.

In order to complete tasks and lead my team, I use the Design and IT task list on the VEI portal. We began with the first task and have made our way through the first two tasks and also bounced down to the website. My department has currently completed everything from the logo and business cards to the template for the business plan. I would say that we are on track if not ahead of the deadlines. The first thing we completed was the logo. Then from there, we complete name tags, a mini logo, a t shirt, business cards, a letter head, graphics for products, the website, and the business plan template. I feel that my team is very organized and has no problem following directions. My leadership would be nothing without a good team, so I am very glad to say that I support my department.

I would give myself a 4/5 rating for my leadership at Spectrum. I feel that I do a very good job staying organized and assigning tasks to my team. I do feel that I could improve on being more specific and checking in with my team to see how they are doing more often. Part of proper functioning in a company stems from the employees well being. I need to be checking in more regularly and giving more feedback.
I will continue to improve this skill by making sure I know what my team needs to accomplish on a day by day basis. It is important that we get materials done earlier than we have in the past. As our trade show approaches, I will make sure my team is prepared in an orderly manner.

As we are three quarters the way through the year, we are an entirely different functioning company. At the time that I wrote my first entry, we were just beginning with daily and portal tasks. We have now completed all the necessary portal tasks. We are never efficient and have kept the company afloat in the design department. Our daily productivity is high, and we tend to finish trade show duties earlier than any other department. I regularly meet with the leadership within the company to ensure that all tasks are in order and completed in a mannerly order. I strive to be a good leader in the company atmosphere. I possess many qualities reflecting leadership. I motivate my team to do well using positive reinforcement. I help to resolve conflict between co-workers and incorporate unique ideas to the department.

My artifact is pictured on the left. This is part of my design department. I oversee their work making sure they are enjoying their environment while still remaining productive. I am always excited to see them in class, I know that I couldn't my job without them. They make being a leader so easy as they are good with communication, listening, and Adobe Photoshop. We have managed to complete all deadlines in time while maintaining positive morality. I would give myself a 4/5 on leadership skills. I do my best to lead by example and make sure my team is doing well. I do believe that I could strive for 5/5 by making sure my attendance is a bit better. As I travel between campuses, it is difficult for me to be here on time. My skills have improved since the last reflection. I make sure to check in with my team more often as well as being more specific in my ideas.
